SX-SDMAC 802.11ac Plus Bluetooth SDIO Module 5th Generation SDIO Wireless LAN plus Bluetooth Module The Silex SX-SDMAC is a dual-band IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Diagram: plus Bluetooth 5.0 BR/EDR/BLE Smart Ready SDIO module based on the latest Qualcomm Atheros Technology. It integrates a QCA9377 SoC with MAC, Baseband, RF, RF front end, and peripheral circuitry. SX-SDMAC operates on a +3.3V main power supply and selectable +1.8V/+3.3V IO power supply. The SX-SDMAC comes in surface mount (SMT) and board to board connector (B2B) form factors. The SX-SDMAC has a 50 ohm U.FL connector as a connection interface for an external antenna. There is also an option to use an onboard chip antenna for the surface mount (SMT) version. SX-SDMAC supports 802.11ac Wave 2 multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) client which can increase the overall WLAN system performance. SX-SDMAC provides an SDIO 3.0 interface for WLAN and a hi-speed UART interface for BT. The SX-SDMAC is a FCC/IC/CE/MIC certi ed module.
